Jean Dodd's
Rabies Challenge Fund
Charitable Trust
World-renown vaccine research scientist and
practicing veterinarian, Dr. W. Jean Dodds of California, and pet
vaccine disclosure advocate, Kris L. Christine of Maine, have
established The Rabies Challenge Fund to raise money to fund a 7
year rabies vaccine challenge study in the United States. Please
donate to help all our dogs!
Some big news for The Rabies Challenge Fund Charitable Trust: thanks
to graphic designer, Andrea Brin, it now has its own website at:
http://www.rabieschallengefund.org/
The other big news is that Dr.
Ronald Schultz of the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary
Medicine has volunteered his time to conduct the 5 and 7 year canine
rabies challenge studies. If you recall, Dr. Schultz's research
forms part of the scientific base for the American Animal Hospital
Association's 2003 and 2006 Canine Vaccine Guidelines.
The December 2006/January 2007
(Vol. 8, Issue 6) Animal Wellness Magazine features an article by
Ann Brightman on the RCF entitled, How Often Does He REALLY Need a
Rabies Shot? and Get Out Your Wallets, Rabies Challenge Fund a
Reality by Nancy Freedman Smith at A Dog's Life and

Since last year, Dr. W. Jean Dodds,
of Hemopet and Co-Trustee of The Rabies Challenge Fund Charitable
Trust, and her staff have donated their time to ensure these vital
studies are conducted for the benefit of our canine companions.
I hope you'll join us in this
effort, too!
Thanks!
Ann
